3D DESIGN TECHNIQUE TO REDUCE REDESIGN TIMING

Abstract


The current industry imposes a dynamic market in which the requirements are no longer clear from the first phases of project development, so the designed products require improvements and changes that sometimes totally change the appearance of the products. The present paper proposes a case study on a 3D design technique to reduce the time and costs of redesigning. Using the basic skeleton technique, designers build a parameterized system on which they build the 3D model. The technique is part of the top-down -based product design concept and is often mandatory in the 3D design of products. This paper proposes an ECU module product designed in the Catia V5 R16 design software as example to evaluate the impact on development costs and times. The study resulted in a significant reduction in research and development effort and costs.
